ME: I'm baaaaaaaaaaaack!

MYRNIN: ...

ME: I haven't been on much lately, have I? I'm not sure which one I've recently updated, this or my wattpad story. But, life's been jumbled up.

MYRNIN: Jumbled u-

ME: Shut up, Myrnin!

MYRNIN: Ok.

GEORGE: Dude, she has you whipped.

FRED: Totally whipped.

MYRNIN: She could kill me off. Have to be nice. *blows kiss to Meaghan*

ME *blushes*

DRACO: I'm going to be sick. Just put up the chapter.

ME: Ok. Here's chapter 5.

SHANE&MICHAEL: Meaghan owns nothing!

Chapter 5

Hermione's POV

"Oh, please! Ron, you can't possibly think this has anything to do with you!"

"Just like Harry didn't?"

"Don't you dare bring that up! I loved him! It wasn't my fault I got annoyed!"

"Hermione, you hexed him into a coma!"

"He was fine!"

"Yeah, but you lost him!"

"Ron, stop!" I screamed, cringing into George's chest.

He laughed. This really was just a routine arguement for us, ever since I started going out with his brother.

"Listen, kids, if you want to get to this town before nightfall, we'd better hurry," Sirius said, looking to the sky. He grabbed Luna and Neville and dragged them forward, where they continued walking. He glared at the rest of us until we did the same.

I stared at the sign. Morganville. It had actually sounded so amazing, to be surrounded by people who knew so much history. We walked quickly towards the town, running when the sun set even more.

We reached the town just before dark fully hit, and went to find somewhere we could sleep. We came up nil, until we saw Claire and Myrnin walking down the street.

Claire's POV

"Hey, Claire! Myrnin!"

I turned around, shocked to be hearing a voice that wasn't a vampire's voice while it was dark out.

"Luna?" I ran and hugged her.

"Hi, Claire!"

I turned to everyone else that was there. "Hi, Ron! Hermione! Neville! Oh, my God, Harry and Draco! And... I don't know the rest of you."

"Oh, this is George," Hermione told me. "And Fred. And that's Sirius Black, and that's Remus Lupin."

"Really? So, you knew Amelie?"

"Amelie... Bishop?"

I grimaced. "Well, yeah."

"Is she still alive?"

I laughed. "Remus, it will take a lot to take that woman down!"

He smiled at me. "May I see her?"

I looked up at Myrnin. "I'll call her. Quick, though, into Common Grounds! The vampires will be out, soon." I brought them there, ringing Amelie at the same time.

"Hello?"

"Oh, hi, Amelie! Listen, you need to come down to Common Grounds."

"Why?"

"Someone here wants to see you."

I heard her sigh. "Ok. I'll be there in a few minutes."

I sat with everyone. "Amelie's on her way," I told Remus.

"Thank you very much, Claire."

"So, Moony, who is this Amelie?" Sirius asked.

"Well, wouldn't you like to know!"

He laughed at him. "Moony, please, since when do you not tell me things?"

"She's... Nobody?"

"Moony..."

"She was just someone I knew, Padfoot!"

I smiled. "So, she should be here any second."

Silence fell for a minute.

"Oi, Claire, Myrnin, people I don't know!" Oliver called from behind the counter. "Order something or get out!"

"We're waiting for Amelie!" I yelled back.

"I don't care!"

"Fine," I yelled. "Get me a mocha!" I lowered my voice. "Anyone else want anything?"

"I'd like a weak tea," Hermione said. Everyone else mumbled 'I'm fine's.

"Get us a tea, too, Oliver!"

"Come order like a normal person!"

"Oliver, please, we are the only people here except for..." I looked around. "Sam, and Michael and Eve!" My powers of observation proving great, I hadn't noticed them until then. "Oh, come join us!" I told them.

They waved us off.

"Family time," Michael laughed.

I nodded. "Well, you're missing out on the Hogwarts reunion!"

They took a proper look at who we were with and came over, bringing Sam with them.

"Sam, this is Luna, Ron, Hermione, Harry, Neville, Draco..." Eve looked at me.

"Sirius, Remus, Fred and George," I finished.

Amelie walked in then. She froze when she saw everyone sitting with us.

"Amelie? Coffee?" Oliver asked.

She shook her head slowly.

"Ok!"

Remus stood up and started walking towards Amelie. She took two slow steps forward before running full speed into his chest, and throwing her arms around him, hugging him tightly.

"Dude, what happened?" Eve asked. I shrugged. We turned back to Amelie and Remus.

"You... You're alive! You... You..." Amelie seemed lost for words. She buried her face back in his chest.

"I know. I promised I'd be back, didn't I?" He kissed her hair.

"Yeah, you did." She pulled back and smiled. "I didn't believe you. God, you're back! You're actually here!" She kissed him.

"Ok, I've never seen Moony like this before," Sirius muttered.

"Never seen him like this? Clearly you don't know Amelie," I whispered back.

"Remus..." Amelie smiled brilliantly.

"Amelie, let's go talk. Tomorrrow night is the full moon, so let's talk while we can."

They left.

After about two minutes of silence, Oliver's voice broke the silence.

"I don't understand what just happened."

"Join the freaking club!" Eve laughed.

"Sirius, what is up with Remus?" Ron asked.

"I have no idea."

I shook my head. "Guys, I'm going home. Ron, your sister is at their house-" I jabbed my thumb towards Michael and Eve, "-but, do any of you need a place to sleep? Maybe split up between our house and theirs?"

"Yeah, good idea," Michael agreed. "Hermione, Ron, Fred and George come with us, Draco, Harry, Sirius, Neville and Luna go with you two."

We all agreed and we left.

"Morning!" Myrnin bounced out of the bed, laughing.

"Ugh. No. Just no. Please, why are you up so early?!"

"Because, Amelie called and told me to go get Remus and try to keep him here, with Sirius, while the full moon is up."

I nodded, too tired to ask any questions while waking up. "Ok, well I'm just going to stay here and sleep for a while," I told Myrnin, rolling over.

"Sirius! We're going to get Remus!"

"Ah, here, mate, let me wake up!"

I rolled over and went back to sleep.

Amelie's POV

"Amelie, I really must go."

"Remus, the moon won't be up for hours yet," I told him. "Enjoy your coffee until Sirius gets here."

"Fine," Remus laughed. "So, what have you been doing these past years since I've been gone?"

I stared at him. "I've been running a town."

"Ah, of course!" he laughed, taking my hand.

"Well, Moony!" Sirius boomed, plopping down beside us.

"Oh, don't say the moon is coming up!" I begged.

"I'm sorry, Amelie. I'll come to see you in the morning." He gently kissed me and left.

Oh, I missed him. I remembered the day we met...

Flashback

"Hello, my name is Remus Lupin. I'm looking for a place to stay for the night, just tonight. I'm meeting a friend here in the morning, but I got here earlier than I expected."

"Of course. Well, we have very few hotels here. We may have a spare room in this building."

I never understood why I offered him a bed in my home.

"That would be great, thank you." He came inside, and I showed him to an empty room.

At dinner, we talked about everything. One of my guards came in, and gave me blood. Remus didn't look shocked at all. I questioned him on this.

"I have seen a lot of strange things, Ms. Bishop, a woman drinking blood among them. I know vampires, vampires like you."

"You know vampires?"

"Ah, Ms. Bishop, there are plenty of things I know that would shock you."

I laughed softly. "It takes a lot to shock me, Mr. Lupin. Why don't you try me?"

"Ok," he accepted. "I can do this." He took out a wooden stick - what I would later learn was his wand - and made some of his food float into his mouth.

"I'm not impressed," I teased. "Now, watch this." I took a sharp knife - not silver, of course, it was covered in a cloth - and formed a deep gash in my arm. It healed, and Remus did look a bit impressed.

"Hang around until the full moon, and then you'll be shocked."

I smiled at him. That was the moment we became friends. His friend arrived late, a week late, and in those days I fell in love with Remus Lupin.

And now...

I sat in Common Grounds, alone, until Oliver came and sat with me.

"Hi, Amelie." Oliver sat across from me.

"Hello."

"So, that's the famous Remus Lupin."

"Yeah. That's him." I smiled to myself. "I'll see him tomorrow."

"Good. This may be the longest I've seen you smile in a really long time." He handed me a cup of coffee. "Amelie, how did you meet?"

I told him the story, about who Remus was and why he was in Morganville.

"And, what happened during that week?"

"Well, we spent a lot of time together. We had a lot in common. He told me about his school, Hogwarts. He was very young at the time, eighteen, just out of school."

"He looks a lot older than you now, Amelie."

"Oliver!" I exclaimed. "That's inappropriate!"

"It's true!"

"Do you think I care how old he is?" I hissed. "I don't care if he looks to be a thousand! It's him that I love, not his looks, or anything specific to his personality, but him!"

"I understand that Amelie, but what are you going to do? Bring him to dinners and say 'This is my boyfriend, judge me if you will'?"

"No, Oliver. I will say, 'This is Remus, the man I love in spite of every odd that's against us'."

Oliver sighed, and reached across the table, placing his hand on mine. "Amelie, this man has the potential to hurt you hard. Keep that in mind."

I stood up and left.

ME: Aw. Somehow, Amelie has a really sweet side!

AMELIE: No. Just no.

REMUS: In denial? *winks*

AMELIE: *laughing* Oh, stuff it!

SHANE&EVE: I really don't understand what's happening...
